UK Fundraising’s new category of venues for fundraising events large and small and
other activities continues to grow.
Finding appropriate venues for fundraising events
and activities can be difficult, if the discussions on the various email and web
forums for fundraisers are anything to go by. That is one reason that UK Fundraising
added a specific category for venues under the events section of its suppliers directory.
Wembley, one of the first to book in the directory, says that it hosts many not-
for-profit events every year, both large and small. Recent bookings have come from
local and central government departments, universities, institutes, associations
and religious organisations. It is currently promoting its Christmas packages, available
in more than 20 meeting rooms available to accommodate groups from 6 to 600.Imperial
College London offers even more rooms, with over 200 meeting rooms, 40 lecture theatres
and exhibition areas at its main South Kensington campus. These are available at
evenings and weekends during term time and throughout vacation periods. It also 
hosts residential conferences.

As well as venue providers, UK Fundraising also lists organisations that offer a
range of venues to choose from. Imago, for example, offers purpose designed conference
and training facilities, together with accommodation, catering and sports and leisure
facilities. Its portfolio includes the all year round, four star residential conference
centre, Burleigh Court, specialist day conference centre, Holywell Park, and Loughborough
Campus, offering conference facilities during the vacation period. The venues are
on one site just off the M1.

Other venues suppliers listed include event management companies, river cruise companies,
after dinner speakers, and venue-finding agencies.
